OK, big news. We've been a bit MIA lately because we have been hard at work preparing for our new store opening. That's right, Kanibal Home will now have a brick-and-mortar storefront at 213 Montgomery Street.

Some recaps from the past few weeks:

1. Finding out that the ideal location was becoming available -- and running into the landlord's office waiving a check without even seeing the space in its entirety.

2. Watching the internet and phone technicians climb through a back window and punch a hole through the tin ceiling "by mistake".

3. Realizing that 150 year old tile floors don't really ever look clean no matter how hard you scrub at 11:00pm on a Friday.

4. Using every trick in the book to try and get the awning permit hurried along.

5. Sitting in a quiet store entering inventory into a new POS system ... and realizing this is what I have been working so hard to accomplish.
